Vorarephilia (shortened to vore) is a sexual fetish and paraphilia where arousal occurs from the idea of being eaten, eating another, or watching this process. The fantasy may include digestion.

The word vorarephilia is derived from the Latin vorare (to 'swallow' or 'devour') and Ancient Greek φιλία (philia, 'love').

Zack Parsons describes vorarephilia as having its own "subculture", while Cynthia Ceilán, in her book Weirdly Beloved, considers vorarephile romance.
